As a result, this alarmed Ukrainian officials and many world leaders around the globe that stated that an invasion of Ukraine would go against International Law. However, President Vladimir Putin justifies the "military operation" of Ukraine by saying that the objective is to integrate the independent region Donetsks and Luhansk into Russia. A statement that has received condemnation from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In today's episode, we discuss the historical implications that have led to the current Ukraine-Russia conflict, Biden's response to the Russian invasion, and the misinformation campaign that has attempted to mitigate the severity of the Ukrainian takeover.

Send us Fan MailOn an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, Dr. Peter McCullough a cardiologist in training and conspiracy theory producer came on to the show to share his thoughts on the current state of the pandemic and errors that scientists and the medical establishment have committed to suppressing the efficacy of Ivermectin. Throughout the interview, Dr. Peter McCullough makes several accusations that attempt to discredit the safety of vaccines and the understanding of COVID-19. In today's episode, we address many of the claims made and assess the engagement style from a psychological perspective. Is the CDC suppressing information?

Send us Fan MailOn November 5th, 2021, thousands of fans attended Travis Scott's festival Astroworld. In the process, nine people lost their lives, and hundreds were left injured when a crowed surge emerged. Criminal investigators have determined that it will take weeks or even months to discover what went wrong. Some are pointing the blame at Travis Scott, Live Nation, and the concert organizers, but conspiracy theorists are claiming that those responsible are not people at all but supernatural forces that demand the sacrifice of human blood. Did the Devil leave subliminal messages for us to discover, or is our brain playing tricks on us?
